Finally! new updates to MTC and the catalog system is HERE!
January 3rd, 2006
First off, I hope everyone had/is having a fun, happy and safe holiday season, and I wish you and your family the very best in 2006!
With that said, you may have noticed that I haven’t updated the main MTC website with new entries for awhile, but it’s not because I was on holidays! My buddy Chaos King from P2L has been letting me abuse his coding magic powers and we’ve been building a massive catalog system that lets me add and control items on the site WAY easier! It was just getting too massive for me to update manually, and the code was getting out of hand. Now there’s an entire CMS system that control the whole thing. We’re also working on finishing up the new search engine that is about a billion times better than the old search, allowing you to find specific items much quicker. You can actually use it right now, but it still needs a few touchups before we call it a done deal.
We’re also working on automating the Blog integration on the site, so bear with me until I get that all straightened out. Anyhow, you can check it all out at www.mytoycollection.com!
Tonight is my first real run at adding new content, and we’ve got loads of new content, including a new kit section for ModModel’s awesome stuff, some new Environment Helmets, a new Miscellaneous area and loads of new added items with TONS on the way! With the new system in place, it only takes a few seconds to add new items instead of 20 minutes each with the old method. *shudder* I also took some quick pics of my unbuilt Dark Hunter for those of you that want to compare and make sure you have the real deal. You can check out The Gallery for those new shots.
That’s about it for now! Stay tuned for a great old unbuilt kit my good friend Ian scored off eBay recently called “Pussyface”… it’s a bit cliche, but a cool kit nonetheless if you’re open minded lol!
Until next time!
